I've been needing to fill a lipgloss void lately and in my attempt to become more natural-friendly, I decided to try out some of the Gloss FX Natural Lip Glazes from J.Lynne Cosmetics. I ordered Hilary and Julianne and they were promptly shipped out to me within a few days! Gotta love fast service.
The products arrived packaged neatly in a bit of black tissue paper and finished off with pink ribbon. Ain't it cute?!
The Gloss FX Natural Lip Glaze samples have a firm outer layer that needs to be cracked through with a little love and some warm fingers or a lip brush, if you choose. But once worked into, the consistency is definitely like that of a full-bodied lipgloss! HEART.
I like the non-sticky, subtle shimmer formula that the Gloss FX Natural Lip Glazes give off. It's not nearly as overdone as MAC's Dazzleglass, but delicately tasteful and with enough color to tint the lips when worn alone. The shine is also long-lasting which I know can be a concern for some ladies who are on the constant go with nil time for a lip touch-up.
I did find that the taste of the Gloss FX Lip Glaze to be slightly like the scent of lemon pledge. It could be that I'm just not one for snacks coming in the form of a lip product because another gal commented that "it smells amazing". Anything flavored on the lips isn't necessarily my forte, but not a challenge I'm not up for. Unless you're highly sensitive to the taste of product on your lips, you can easily get used to the essence. To me it's worth the tolerance curve for such a lovely product.
But the ultimate question is: How well does it do for dry lips?
Coming from dry city herself, these babies hold moisture in very well. Even over lipstick they ride well into the night. And with ingredients like Sweet Almond, Avocado, and Orange Peel Oil and Vitamin E, my lips were cocooned in a jacket of lip loving ingredients.
("Relax, I can." - my attempt at Yoda).
Along with my order were some samples of the Soft Silk Mineral Blush in Shy, Satin Pearl Mineral Eyeshadow in Caramel Latte, and the Ultra Intensity Mineral Eyeliner in Drama Queen.
The camera didn't capture it at all but there is a nice touch of shimmer to each of these.
So, now that you've seen my mini J.Lynne Cosmetics loot, hang tight for the resulting FOTD when they're all pieced together!
Have you tried J.Lynne Cosmetics yet? If you have, what are your thoughts on this company?
Aloha,
Mrs. Lynne
